A great many things never get
done simply because we don't do
them. This sounds like truism,
but there is substratnm Of philoso
ply to the statement. We some
times dream of certain things we
would like TO do; we even go SO far
as to plan some things out. But
we never begin the execution Of
them. Once begun, we should be
reasonably sure of carrying them
on to completion. The real him
drance is the fact that we never be-
gin. OF course for anything of inn
portance there is need that there be
wise planning. But planning may
be so elaborate as to absorb all the
energies, and the execution never
be undertaken. The men who
achieve are those who go ahead,
plan or no plan, and do something.
The great works Of the world have
been accomplished because those
concerned have started them, made
q beginning, and then carried them
through. This is equally true In
proportion on q smaller scale in the
private sphere. Many of us car
accomplish much more than we do
by simply going ahead and doing
the things that present themselves
to be done.

We do not hesitate to say that the sFair

novels we have ever read. The scene where
in the sunrise Montezuma reads his fate. the
dance-scene, and the entry Of the Spaniards
to the capital, are drawn in style Of which
we think few living writer's capable, and the
battles are Homeric in their grandeur-Lon-

In all the accessories to a complete historical
romance, the author has perfected himself
down to minntest details. Every feature of
Aztec civilization necessary to render his task
complete has been carefully studied sand
grandly setforth.--New York Times
Take the poems of Ossian, the "Tales of the
